So, a T8 tube has the same 1-inch diameter as a standard T8. Black tube lights have the same sizing designation as linear fluorescent or LED tubes, with the number after the T signifying the tube's diameter in eighths of an inch. Black lights come in many different shapes and sizes, like the spiral shape of CFL bulbs and the A-shape or tubular shape of incandescents. The dark blue outer coating filters out much of the remaining visible light so that the fluorescence effects of the bulbs can be better observed. Fluorescent black lights, whether as a spiral CFL or a black light tube light typically use a special phosphor that emits UV-A light instead of visible white light.

Incandescent bulbs do not produce much light in the ultraviolet spectrum, but they remain the most economic option. Since then more efficient sources have come to light. The first black light was created by using a UV filter called Wood's glass over the bulb. The black light has a 6-long bulb on the side and a mini flashlight on one. Shapes and Types of Black Light Bulbsīlack lights can be fluorescent tubes, CFLs, mercury-vapor lamps, incandescent, or LED. This lamp produces UV light at 4 watts and 365-370nm to fluoresce longwave minerals. There are also some plants and animals that glow under UV light including some species of scorpions and fungi. 'Invisible' ink is also used by some children's party centers to stamp a parents' hand to a matching number on their child's to prevent adults from leaving with a child they did not bring to the event. There are also inks and dyes that contain fluorescent ink that can 'invisibly' mark items, which can be used for anything from passing secret notes to marking items to be recognizable if stolen.

Ultra-violet light causes some materials to glow or fluoresce, which is brought out by blocking most of the light in the visible spectrum. Choose from 6 black light bulbs, 48 black light bulbs, and even a 6' portable black light that is battery operated. BL black light bulbs tend to skew more towards a blue light than purple and are made for use in bug zapper insect traps. These black lights are labeled 'blacklight' or 'BL' since they lack the blue filter that gives the first type the name. The second kind can look like a standard fluorescent tube. The filter causes these bulbs to look purple or dark blue even when turned off. Black lights with the blue filter coating are called 'blacklight blue' or 'BLB' by manufacturers. When you think of black lights, you're probably thinking of the first kind.

A bulb can either use a filter to block most visible light and only allow ultraviolet light through or it can produce ultraviolet light and limited light in the visible spectrum. Exposure from black lights would be much lower than your exposure to UVA outdoors.A black light is a bulb that emits ultra-violet (UV-A) light and not much visible light. Exposure to UVA from black lights is well below the recognised safe limits and is not hazardous to people using them, working in their vicinity or who have them in their home. UVA is thought to cause premature ageing and has recently been linked to some skin cancers, however UVB is the main cause of skin cancer. Place the paperweight on the mirrored base and enjoy the glow. Many insects can see ultraviolet light so black lights are often used in the “bug zapper” type of insect traps.īlack lights are usually fluorescent lamps or incandescent light bulbs modified to allow only the emission of UVA and some visible light. Combine your favorite Glow in the Dark glass paperweight with a Dynasty Gallery UV light base. These particles are found in certain objects, including your teeth and fingernails.
